hello family and friends - i would like to clarify that this quote comes from mr. kurthager himself (i very much like him any way he dresses). but now that we are in spain, he has set out to get some spanish clothing. we are trying to take advantage of the rebajas (sales) in every store window, and today we had a very successful day finding the good deals. we both bought some nice new (comfortable) shoes, as our feet are starting to hurt from all the walking. they are pretty chic, i must say. then we took our imminent trip to zara and kurt got some great slimfit collared shirts - pictures coming, promise! - that look GREAT on him. we ended the day with kurt getting a new messenger bag, as the $25 one he ordered on expedited shipping for $20 extra (i know, right?) arrived right after our plane left minneapolis. and, in case you were wondering, kurt's scarf count is officially up to 4, so that's fun!
my host family is pretty amazing. they are a retired couple, josé and dolores, with three adult children, two of which have lunch with me at the house during the week. maria at 29 is closest to my age, and has a 6-month old daughter that is at the house while she works. so i have my dose of small children and grandparents that i don't get on the college campus! my host-grandpa is the best - he wants to be like my dad so much that he set the table and tried to cook lunch today while dolores was gone. so precious. he always asks me to go on walks and shows me around the city. but he doesn't believe i can walk as far as him so we are going to have a little competition this week and see who stops first. now that i have my comfy shoes, i am sure to win!
results later.
